Adjective

statārius (feminine statāria, neuter statārium); first/second-declension adjective

1. of or belonging to standing or standing fast, standing, stationary, (rare) steady
   • 59 BC–AD 17, Titus Livius, 22 18:

     Ea adsuetior montibus et ad concursandum inter saxa rupesque aptior ac leuior cum uelocitate corporum, tum armorum habitu, campestrem hostem, grauem armis statariumque, pugnae genere facile elusit.

     These troops were more used to mountains, and better suited to skirmishing amid rocks and crags, and being more agile and more lightly armed, they had no difficulty — thanks to the nature of the fighting — in getting the better of an enemy whose heavy armour and stationary tactics were adapted to level ground.

2. (transferred sense) calm, tranquil, of an orator
   • 46 BCE, Cicero, Brutus 239:

     C. deinde Piso statarius et sermonis plenus orator, minime ille quidem tardus in excogitando, verum tamen voltu et simulatione multo etiam acutior quam erat videbatur.
